Dear Community,
in several sources I found fix information for Cfix.70.2302 and Cfix.70.2303. Usually Cfixes have been delivered every two months in the even months. Has the interval of two months now been changed and Cfixes will be delivered in February and March or will the February Cfix be skipped? Thank you very much for your feedback.
Hi Michael Heim,
Until now, it was the case that a CFix was published every 2 months. However, always at the end of the month. I assume that the CFix.70.2303 will be released at the end of February 2023.
However, only the HCL support can really confirm this.
Regards
Max
HI Michael,
I agree with Max. I would also expect to see the next update at the end of February 2023. When you check the history you will see that most of the time a new CFix will be released after around 2 months. See URL:

But so far I know there is no guarantee for it. It's just estimated timeframe.
I hope that helps,
thanks Thorsten
Hi All,
I am sorry for the delay in responding to this post. We have made a change to the way we deliver cfixes for several reasons. Given V8 is now out we have always intended to only do packages for the latest 2 releases which means we will no longer produce 6.5cr1 cfixes the last one was 2211. For the 7.0 cfixes we will continue producing those but on a different frequency than in the past. When I evaluated the effort to produce a cfix verses the number of fixes we had in each one it did not make sense to produce a cfix every other month in 2023 we will produce cfixes on a quarterly basis. Our next 7.0 cfix is planned for March 2023.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely

Hi Bryan,
do you have any update when the next CFix (or CR) for Connections 7 is going to be available? March has passed by and I still do not see update. I would assume that there is a fix list pusblished as technote as well.
I am asking as I expect some fixes with the next update.
Greetings
Maik
CFix.70.2303 has been finalized and should be published soon, by end of week.
So ... mid of April and still no new update for CFix 70.2303 on Flexnet Portal or an update to the CFix list technote at https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0088085
It should now be posted and available for download. The Connections 7.0 Cumulative Fix (CFix) List has been updated and published as well. An unfortunate technicality delayed the CFix delivery we hope to improve moving forward.
Given the effort/time it takes to produce and deliver cfixes for V7 we are moving to a 6 month delivery schedule. We have also noticed a smaller list of fixes for V7 and from speaking with customer due to the testing needed on each Cfix most all customers do not install every cfix. We hope by moving the schedule more customers will make use of the Cfixes as they come out.
We delivered the last Cfix 7.0 24.03 first week of April 2024. We plan to deliver our next Cfix for V7 in Sept. 2024
Thanks
